“We need hope as much as we need bread and meat,” he interrupted, his eyes clear for a rare moment. “We need hope, or else we cannot endure.” - Sarah J. Maas

Hello Readers!With the end of my semester, I found myself swimming in the pleasure of literature, preferring the company of words instead of fabrics. From time to time, the envy of a new garment resurfaces... Especially when I saw myself receiving a box full of cute fabrics (for free!) last week. Apparently, some were directly bought in Paris, which makes this gift even better. Not necessarily because it is from France, but the fact that they weren't bought here adds an element of woahness and excitement. I found a cute crepe (?) fabric in the box with a lovely print of roses. I wanted to create a blouse out of it, but I got lazy at some point and preferred the quick from the time-consuming kind of project. So I went for a dress!

Even if my stash of patterns is now fuller than ever, I realised that I have too many patterns to create winter garments (which is not a bad thing considering they are my favorites things to sew) and almost nothing to create summer outfits. Since I wanted a dress to wear during the hot days, I made some research online and found the Leini Dress from Named Clothing. It's a company that I love with my whole heart, forasmuch as I never really need to do any big alterations; everything always fits like a glove. The Leini dress is described as a "cute and relaxed, knee-length summer dress with wide vertical, collar-like pleats at front from shoulder to waist". I omitted the lining to add sleeves because I'm not a fan of sleeveless dresses and I cut the dress a little shorter than the pattern suggests to avoid any "grandma look" that the print of the fabric could create. Et voila! A perfect dress in only two hours.
